That’s us too. Just relaxing and doing whatever strikes us. I’ll have to water later today, and we had beans that we had to process, because they interferred with exercise afternoom yesterday.

I just made it a rule that I will not process anything on exercise days. So far I am 1 week into the exercise, and already the rule has been tested twice.LOL I am sticking to it - so side tracking.

Hubby brought me in some roma tomatoes (green) to look at. On the stem ends he noticed a discoloration kinda looks like a greenish taupe color. Although one did have a somewhat different discoloration on the blossum end too.

I told him my guess would be to add some calcium, bone meal, and epsom salts to the 5 gallon containers, but that I have no idea what it is.

You’ve grown a lot of tomatoes. Does anything come to mind that it could be? Thanks.

Other than the blossom end I have no idea. Blossom end could be the dreaded rot. Calcium deficiency is indicated by that.
